Voiceover pronunciation

Hi all, Is there a way to correct voiceover's pronunciation of words? My example is: I have the AppleInsider app. And when I get a notification from them, VO pronounces it applenesider. Not a big deal at all but just curious if VO can be changed like Jaws to correctly pronounce a word.

You can change pronunciation by going to Accessibility>VoiceOver>Speach>Pronunciation. HTH

Hi J.P. Thanks so much. I thought surely there had to be a way.

You’re welcome @gailisaiah. It works most of the time. Sometimes the pronunciation is not the same system-wide. Another VoiceOver quirk.
